Declining or Waning

Papers centered exclusively on historical linguistics and diachronic studies have declined, suggesting a move away from historical analysis towards contemporary linguistic practices and issues. - Local Dialect Studies:
Research focused on very localized dialects or idiolects appears to be less frequent, possibly as scholars prioritize broader sociolinguistic phenomena and their implications on identity and power. - Monolingualism in Language Education:
The journal has seen fewer discussions regarding monolingual approaches in language education, reflecting a broader acceptance of multilingualism and its pedagogical importance. - Traditional Literary Canon Studies:
